TLDR
Market Recap: June 03, 2026
On June 03, Indian equities finished lower on June 3 after a bruising IT selloff and crude-led macro stress, but late hopes of bond-market tax relief helped benchmarks recover most intraday losses. Sensex closed at 74,346.17, down 303.67 points or 0.41%, while Nifty 50 ended at 23,405.60, down 77.95 points or 0.33%. Broader markets slipped, India VIX rose 6% to 16.28, and DII buying largely offset heavy FII selling.
Key Drivers :
Crude shock returns: Gulf escalation pushed Brent near $99, pressuring import-heavy India.
Bond-inflow hopes cushion: Tax-cut chatter helped indices recover sharply from intraday lows.
Domestic money absorbs: DII buying nearly neutralized another heavy FII cash selloff.
